    Dining in Singapore is a serious pursuit. City Nomads covers the restaurants, cafes, bars, and new openings that define the city’s food culture, not just what’s new, but what’s worth going back to. Honest, well-travelled, and always hungry.

    Singapore and Asia’s cultural life moves fast. Between gallery openings, sold-out concerts, and theatre runs that vanish before you’ve heard about them, knowing where to look matters. City Nomads covers the art exhibitions, cinema releases, live music, and theatre that shape how this city thinks, feels, and gathers.

When not downing frappes during her writing spiels, Megan can be found catching up on her favourite franchises or cajoling friends and family out for yet another Japanese dinner. An insane need to stay connected means you can reach her anytime - except on alternate weekends, when she’s found next to a TV screen, watching F1 cars go ‘round in circles.
